The following excerpt is from People v. Rubbock, B236478 (Cal. App. 2013):
On June 3, 2011, the trial court denied defendant's motion made pursuant to Pitchess v. Superior Court, supra, 11 Cal.3d 531. Defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying the motion, but he does not provide any argument or citation to the record in support of that contention. Instead, defendant contends that, despite his numerous unsuccessful requests of the trial court to provide in the record the reporter's transcript of the June 3, 2011, hearing at which the trial court denied defendant's motion, the record that the trial court provided is inadequate for us to determine whether the trial court erred in denying the motion. According to defendant, because the reporter's transcript of the hearing on the motion is "unavailable," we should reverse, "per se," his judgment of conviction.
